Some Curious Wedding Rings.

In speaking Of wedding-rings, we
learn that these important symbols
have not always been manufactured
from the precious metal, gold. We
are told that In lieu OF q ring the
church key has often been used, and
Walpole tells of an instance where a
curtain ring was employed. The Duke
Of Hamilton fell SO violently in love
with the younger of the celebrated
Misses Cunning, at party in Lord
Chesterfeld's house, that two days
after he sent for parson to perform
the marriage ceremony, but as the
Duke had neither license nor ring the
clergyman refused to ACT. Nothing
daunted, Hamilton declared he would
send for the Archbishop" At last they
were married with ring of the bed
curtain, at 12:3 at night. at Mayfair
Chapel. Forgetful bridegrooms have
been reduced to greater straits than
this even. In one instance leather
ring had, on the spur of the moment,
to be cut out of piece of kid, from
the brides glove. A tragic story of
forgotten wedding-ring is told in the
Lives of the Lindsays." When he
should have been at church, Colin
Lindsay, the young Earl of Balcarres,
was quietly eating his breakfast in
night-gown and slippers. When re-
minded that Mauritia of Nassau was
waiting for him at the altar. he hur-
ried to church, but forgot the ring. A
friend present gave him one, which he,
without looking at, placed on the
brides finger. After the ceremony was
over, the Countess glanced at her
hand and beheld a grinning deaths
head on her ring. She tainted away,
and the omen made such an impression
on her that on recovering she declared
that she was destined to die within q
year-a presentiment that probably
brought about its own fulfillment, for
in few months the careless Colin was
a widower. York Je,Celry NeicS.

A Word to Early Risers.

A correspondent writes to inquire the
meaning of the phrase, "Take Time by
the forelock." Well, usually it means
to get your work in on the combina-
ton. For Times forelock yields-one
turn to the right of opportunity and a
forward push of courage. However, as
a general rule, by the time the leis-
urely individual makes up his mind t.
try the combination, he discovers that
old Father Time is either baldheaded
or has that precious forelock of his
pomaded closely to the scalp with the
unguent of procrastination.
Very likely the philosopher respon-
sible for the forelock combination was
the one who originated the remark that
"the early bird gets the worm" 1t
would seem, from the way people take
heed to the same, that they do not care
to undergo the same affection as the
early bird. And they probably might
certify this belief by adding that "some
vermifuge is not vermifuge. "-TerGS

Bad Manners in England.

Who was responsible for the only
hitch at the children's jubilee celebra-
ton in Hyde Park? The dukes and
duchesses, the lords and ladies, the
baronets and knights-the upper ter"
who were enlisted in the good cause.
I Order was complete SO far as the thou
sands of children, their teachers, and
their friends were concerned; but,
when it came to the "ladies and gen.
tlemen" who had graced the fete with
their presence, rowdyism prevailed,
and the inclosure In which they were
assembled became Pandemonium it
self. Duchesses fought with count
esses, dukes with earls, titled women
with untitled aristocrats, and social
stars with anxious aspirarcs to the So
cial armament. And what for? To
see the Queen-to get as near as pos
sible to the place where it was ar
ranged that her carriage was to stop.
What mattered it to these educated
representatives of the upper classes
that they broke into the royal circle !;
that they elbowed the Princess of
Wales out of the place that had been
assigned to her, until the gentlemen
about her had to protect her from their
onslaughts; that the royal visitors were
mobbed and jostled, and the whole in
closure converted into a bear garden.
or no avail were the entreaties of the
members of the committee, who worked
hard to make their aristocratic assist
ants remember that they were sup
posed to be ladies and gentlemen, or
the efforts of the two policemen, who
Sir Charles Warren, in his innocence,
thought would be more than sufficient
: to keep order among so "genteel" a
throng. None whatever. The classes
were determined to show that, when it
came to q fight to get front place,
they could be more unruly than the
masses, and in this they certainly were
successful, for of all the scrimmages
that I saw-and they were not few
among the crowds on a jubilee day, i
came across nothing in the way of un-
seemly behavior to equal the conduct
of the aristocrats at the children's fete.

Claret and Watermelon.

Claret wine isn't particularly obiec-
tionable if poured into a watermelon.
1t assimilates with the juice of the
fruit very nicely. One bottle is, per-
haps, sufficiency, and you gain the
two favors-that of the grape and
that of the melon. 1t is done on the
principle of making salad; you must
use just enough of the condiments OF
the dressing so that you may get q
smack of each without any one pre-
dominating. Therefore, one bottle OF
clarct is enough, it is thought. Be-
sides this, a quart bottle of the best
table claret costs perhaps so cents or
81, while bottle of foreign cham
payne costs 81 or more. Many people
prefer the watermelon without any adj
dition to its taste. Others favor what
they call modern improvements. The
real requisites for the full enjoyment
of this grand fruit is thirst and hot
day. Let the melon under these con-
ditions be taken from its bed of ice
and eaten. 1t is something fit for the
gods. -ETchdnOp

Mining I'm the Arctic Regions.

1t may not be generally known that
important mining operations are car
ried on within the Arctic circle. Cryo-
lite is brough from Greenland to
Philadelphia by the shipload to be
used in the making of candles. AT
Alien, near the north cape in Finmark,
extensive copper mines have been
worked for long time.
When it is remembered that most OF
the work has to be done under ground,
and that heat is what the men suffer
most from, it becomes apparent al
once that mines may be almost as
profitable in these high latitude as
they would be on our coast. The main
thing is to have communication open
once year for bringing supplies and
carrying away the ores.
An engineer who visited the mines at
Alien few years ago, to study the
conditions in which they were worked,
found that the climate interposed no
obstacle. The mines, when fairly
deep, are warmer in winter than in
summer.
In such work as has to be done above
ground, there is scarcely any Interrupt
ton. During the three months when
the sun does not shine, there is no lack
of light to the eye accustomed to the
conditions.
The sky is clear and starry, the
aurora is playing most of the time, and
whatever light there is the reflection
from the snow increases and intensifes.
More than $50 years ago mining was
carried on extensively about the shores
of the White Sea by Saxon workmen.
Silver, copper, and lead were produced
in quantities.
Now that the whale fishery has de-
clined, mining enterprise seems most
likely of anything to promote explora-
ton and settlement within the Arctic
circle.-Youth'S COMPANION.

VictOria's Childhood.

Few royal children, many as are
their toys. ever had such remarkable
"plaything" as that with which Brit
aims Queen amused herself when she
was fodder of fourteen months. "In
consequence of very civil message
from the Duchess of Kent" wrote
William Wilberforce. Il waited on her
this morning She received me, with
her fine, animated child on the floor
by her side, with its playthings, OF
which i soon became one" Had an
artist been present, he might so have
painted the scene as to suggest the
childlike nature of the great lphilan-
thropist which won the heart of the
little Princess, who was too innocent
to be respecter of persons.
The little Princess delighted in
nnsic, and her mother once sent for a
child who played on the harp to amuse
her. The Duchess of Kent, seeing her
daughter engrossed with the music,
left the room for moment.
On returning she found the harp de-
serted, and the two children seated
side by side on the rug, surrounded by
the Princess playthings, from which
Victoria was making liberal selection
for the little harp-player.
The Duchess inculcated considera-
ton for others upon her daughter, and
little scene" at London jewelers.,
which occurred when the Princess had
grown up, showed the effect OF this
training.
Having gone one morning, incog-
rito, to the jewelers., she noticed a
young lady looking at gold chains.
One of tire trinkets pleased her, but
the price being more than she could
afford to pay, she reluctantly put it
aside and selected a cheaper one.
After she had left the store. the
z Princess inquired who she was. The
answer being satisfactory, she ordered
the chain to be sent to the young lady.
With the gift went card, which ex-
pressed the pleasure of the Princess
Victoria in observing that the young
lady's prudence had conquered her de-
sire to possess the chain.
The Duke of Kent, the Princess
father, had assigned cottage near the
Palace of Kensington to soldier of
his regiment, who afterward died, leav-
ing sick boy and girl. The Princess
visited the family at intervals, and two
days before she left Kensington to as
cend the throne she sent to the invalid
girl copy of the Book of Psalms and
marker worked by her own hand.
@Look there!" exclaimed the girl to
her pastor, drawing the book from I'M
der her pillow. Look at what the
Queen of England sent me, and with it
the message that, though now Queen
of England and obliged to leave Ken
sington, she did not forget me. Was it
not beautiful, SIP"
Once, while on visit at Wentworth
House, she was running about the gar
den on wet morning. The old gar
dener, seeing her about to descend a
slippery piece of ground, called out ::
"Be careful, Miss; that's slapel"
"What's slape?" asked the Princess,
as her feet flew from under her and she
tell down.
THAT'S Shape, Miss" said the man,
carefully lifting her up.
"Thank you; shall never forget the
word" answered the Princess.
